What are natural stones and where can they be used in the home?
Granite is a hard, non-flexible stone ideal for countertops, walls, floors, fireplace surrounds, etcetera. Marble is a softer non-flexible stone ideal for floors, vanity, countertops or tub surrounds. It is not recommended for kitchen countertop use other than areas designated as pastry/bread centers. *Important Information: All natural stones are porous. Sealing is essential and is done by the fabricator at the shop or as part of the installation process. Cleaning products should be tested on the stone before being used. All natural stones consist of different elements that may be affected by the cleaning agent. Never use steel wool, sandpaper, or other abrasives on natural stone.
